April 13, Smart 360 co-founder, vice President Li Xuanfong guest Donews 5G vernacular, sharing his and their team's entrepreneurial story.

5G vernacular scene, facing the host, guests and spectators, the 85 young people appear a little nervous. Opening, the host asked him where he came from, "I and Ray are always a fellow, Hubei people," he said, the original slightly shy face suddenly showed a smile, it seems to get some kind of mysterious power.

Li Xuanfong in the university is the Water Conservancy and environmental protection major, after graduating from graduate in 2011, in a state-owned enterprise unit work, the job is very stable. But then he resigned, and his friends started the company, in his own words, he is from the environmental industry jump directly to the mobile internet industry.

The man who founded the company with him is called Mr Frederick, an Anhui man, a technical madman. Li Xuanfong and Mr Frederick met when they were in 2009 with a graduate student in Peking University, where they rented a basement near the North ring. Slowly, they found common ground: both admired jobs and wanted to do something. Some people say that only men and women will be able to spark Sparks, but there are always facts that men and men can rub together, such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, such as Jobs and Watts, and Li Xuanfong and Mr Frederick ...

Li Xuanfong When he talked about Mr Ho, he was a little agitated, and he quickly became faster. Mr Frederick was a programmer and started his own business while in college and was famous in the local area. Can with a programming master to do roommates, Li Xuanfong feel very happy.

On one occasion, Mr Ho told Li Xuanfong he wanted to do http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/2894.html "> Speech recognition software for smartphones." "It's a bold decision," Li Xuanfong recalls. Still, they did it, they had classes during the day, and they knocked at the code at night, and then finally made a speech recognition software, the predecessor of "Smart 360".

However, in order to do the software, Mr Frederick's graduate student had only been out of school for less than a year, and then he had to drop out because he had spent his tuition on product development. Li Xuanfong said the roommate was "a technology maniac born to start a business."

After graduating from graduate school, Li Xuanfong went to a state-owned enterprise unit in Nanjing to work, although the days were smooth, but he always felt less. Then jobs boarded the ship ahead of time, and the whole world was plunged into great sadness, including Mr Frederick. People seem to forget that Apple has unveiled its new Siri-enabled iphone iphone, at a time when Mr Frederick found Li Xuanfong and invited the old comrade-in-arms to work with the Voice helper software on Android phones, the "Smart 360".

"This is another bold decision," said Li Xuanfong, "We are facing the world's most powerful technology companies", but he resigned from the state-owned enterprise units. He believes in Mr Frederick.

"It was really difficult at the time, mainly because there was no money, even a hungry meal, Mr Li Xuanfong's girlfriend wants to break up with him many times." When he said this, his eyes seemed to be a little red, his voice trembled, he paused to drink his saliva, and for a moment he continued to fall into memories, "we have no steady work, Through labourers to maintain a basic life, but I and Mr Frederick never thought of giving up, he still focused on product development, and I am responsible for market research, to find partners.

October 2011, the product called "Smart 360" finally completed, and the public test, in a short period of one months, the user volume has exceeded 300,000. When they got their first financing in December, they dared to start a full-time product development. Then, in a mobile application development competition in Nanjing, "Smart 360" won the award, and got to the Huawei Terminal Company's pro-Lai, then Huawei to talk to them about the acquisition, Li Xuanfong and his team insisted that the market potential of the product, eventually abandoned the acquisition.

Later, Isadora, who was originally working in nine cities, Liao, and a mysterious programmer who studied in Japan joined them, and the number of teams increased to 5. In early 2012, they set up Shanghai Poly Entropy Information Technology Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, focusing on mobile internet mobile Voice Intelligent Interactive platform development and operation.

"Every company has its own genes, and our genes are focused on voice-intelligent interactions," Li Xuanfong said.

It is reported that "Smart 360" since January 15, 2012 officially on the line, to 15,000 users per day growth rate, the highest day of growth of 26,000, now has more than 1.5 million users.
